Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign on Friday blasted his Republican rival's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a running-mate, highlighting her "zero" foreign policy experience.
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.
Burton also criticized Palin as a vice presidential pick for her support of oil drilling in the Alaskan wilderness and her anti-abortion stance, referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal in the United States.
"Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies. That's not the change we need, it's just more of the same," he said.
The choice of Palin was seen as a bold effort by McCain to attract disgruntled Democratic and independent supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton, who was defeated by Obama in the race to be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
Palin, a telegenic conservative, has led the oil-producing northwestern US state since December 2006 and was the first woman and youngest person to hold that state's top job.

What a maroon.
One of her overlooked qualifications on foreign policy is that her state BORDERS ON RUSSIA.
You think she ever got calls at 3:00 a.m that Russian bombers were probing and the Alaskan national Guard had to scramble fighters?
The closest Obama got to a commie bomb thrower was when he nuzzled up to one at a swank cocktail party.
Yep. Actually, Alaska is a critical and strategic link in our defense system.
Does Obama know how many individual U.S. states - is it 57?
Obama visited the Middle East as a kid - just wow ! - so that gives him the foreign affairs credentials. ROLFL!
Republicans who still support continuation of the killing in Iraq.
War is won, providing stability in Iraq after the surge and preparing for the eventual turn over of security to the the Iraqis.
This will work even better:
More than Barr imho..
You’re no more a “conservative” than Susan Eisenhower or Jim Leach. Palin has a lot more and a lot more relevant experience than your candidate, who spent 2 years in the IL state senate and two years in the US Senate, primarily campaigning and doing little else.
There, I finished it for you.
And like a two-year old throwing a fit on the floor, the best thing to do is walk away from them and leave them to make fools of themselves.
LOL!
Off you meds again?? Poor thing you are , suck it up Nancy-girl!!
Speaking of Nancies,,Pelosi has got to be crying in her botox right about now!
And it is no small accomplishment either, getting up at 3 AM, going out and shooting a moose, then field-dressing and hauling it home for mooseburgers.
Gotta love that aspect.
A bumper sticker winner.
Some people actually like to be punished. The Marquis de Sade wrote often about it. MurryMom is one of those folks. She know she is wrong, but she comes here because she like spankings. It's called Sado-Masochism. She probably has a lot of self destructive habits like joining MLMs, buying carbon credits, and protesting deodorant.
You mean like Obama did when he had all other candidates kicked off the ballot?
Calypso Louie for the NOI Head of Religious Re-education.
I thought Louie might make a good ambassador to Israel......BWAAAAAA. Obama has NOTHING BUT THUGS behind him. Kerry at least had a “band of brothers” stand with him to try and persuade people that they believed in him. Obama has written his own legacy and the only witnesses to are some very hateful, disturbing anti-Americans. Oh, and Oprah,,wait, that’s redundant.
“Obama just fell for the trap”
Big Fat BINGO!
Watching NoBama reminds me of watching a recent playoff game with “The One” McNabb choking and getting sick in the final minutes unable to complete the game and making mistake after mistake after the whole world of sports commentators praised him as the messiah of quarterbacks.
Onbama’s campaign is tripping all over itself, his fans must already be letdown and we know they’re worried judging by the attcks on Palin.
The only experience I have seen from Obama is that he bowls a 37. Palin on the other hand is hot, hunts, fishes, played basketball and probably many other sports, married a snowmobile racer, has 5 children (her greatest accomplishment btw), loves ice hockey, has a son in the army, has run the largest state in area in the union, etc etc. Did I mention she is hot?
